Consular legalization in Qingdao
Documents from Qingdao going to non-member countries are authenticated by China's foreign affairs authorities first, then legalized by the mission covering Shandong.
Countries outside the convention, such as the UAE, Qatar, Egypt and Thailand (where the convention is not yet in force), still require traditional consular legalization: notarisation, authentication by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or a local foreign affairs office, then legalization by the destination country's embassy or consulate in China.
A port city closely linked with Korea and Japan; Korean is in particular demand. Clients in Qingdao can use the service by courier or online, with no office visit needed.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be in Qingdao in person for consular legalization?
Usually not. Documents can be couriered or uploaded. If a step needs you in person, such as some notarisations, we tell you in advance and book it.
How much does consular legalization cost in Qingdao?
It depends on document type, quantity, language, destination and deadline, so each job is quoted individually. Send a photo of the document for a free, exact quote.
What is 'double authentication'?
The common name for the two steps: authentication by China's foreign affairs authorities, then legalization by the destination country's mission.
